Sister, you traveled through time too?

Chapter 31: Differences and Contrasts

Dongxu looked very serious while eating. He was not picky about food at all. He held the small bowl elegantly and ate everything cleanly.

Eating with him makes one feel particularly hungry.

After he had eaten, he put the bowl and chopsticks in order, then took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth meticulously.

"I am full, Your Highness, enjoy your meal."

He spoke mechanically, his face seemed expressionless and his expression was very dull.

If you don't observe carefully, you will just think he is aloof, but if you look closely at Dong Xu's eyes, you will find that his mind is as pure as water.

No matter what I say or do, I always seem to be a step slower than others.

Xiaoyu discovered that Dongxu’s behavior and words were not at all aloof, but rather a little dull.

Like a silent and lonely child, he has a pure mind and cannot get along with others.

For example, giving a pear to a little fish and saying "enjoy your meal" after a meal both seem stereotyped.

It was as if he just knew that he needed to do this and say this.

But I don't know why I do this and say this.

After dinner, Xiaoyu and Dong Sui Sui chatted for a while. Sui Sui wrote a lot of words, and Xiaoyu read them one by one gently.

Compared to Dongxu, Suisui is more emotionally complete.

Sui Sui just can't speak, but he has a lot to say.

Dong Xu could speak, but he had nothing to say.

God is unfair. If you don’t use your mouth, you can donate it to people in need.

The silent dinner ended like this, and Xiaoyu gave Suisui many small gifts and cakes.

Dongxu did not refuse, but took Suisui's hand and bowed to Xiaoyu to express his gratitude.

Xiaoyu ordered someone to drive Dongxu and the other man back in her new car. She felt that it was the first time she met someone like Dongxu.

It's very strange, like a piece of wood with no emotions and very insensitive to feelings.

She smiled and decided not to think about it anymore.

After the guests left, she went back to her room to change her clothes and undress.

"Your Highness, I like Suisui so much, he is so cute." Cuizhi said with a smile beside Xiaoyu.

She gently helped Xiaoyu take off her hairpins and combed her hair.

"It's really cute." Xiaoyu smiled and thought of Suisui's face that was similar to his brother's childhood.

"I went to the residence of the Grand Tutor today. It is very small, just a small courtyard, and there are only two or three servants serving him." Cuizhi said.

Is Taifu really so poor?

Xiaoyu thought about it, this shouldn’t be the case, he should be rich, after all, he is the Grand Tutor.

But then I thought about Dong Xu, it didn’t seem impossible.

He seemed to be particularly devout only about food and did not seem to be interested in pleasure.

Dongxu's family had fallen into poverty and he had lived a hard life, so he probably didn't like extravagance.

No wonder, most of Suisui’s clothes are ordinary.

The clothes Dongxu was wearing were also made of ordinary fabrics.

But the fabrics of Suisui and Dongxu's clothes are very soft, which is very practical.

She understood Dong Xu a lot better.

A master tutor who pursues practicality.

Afterwards, Cuizhi pretended to be mysterious and asked Xiaoyu to guess what else she saw.

Xiaoyu had no idea what this was, so she smiled and asked her to tell her quickly.

"Hahaha, I just arrived at Master Taifu's door and heard a strange sound!"

"I'm still wondering, who is so bold?"

"Then I entered the yard and heard the voice again. I looked in the direction of the voice. Guess what?"

Cuizhi kept the secret again and motioned Xiaoyu to guess quickly.

Xiaoyu pretended to tickle Cuizhi's waist and said with a smile, "Tell me quickly, my dear Cuizhi, or I will tickle you."

Cuizhi laughed out loud when she was tickled, and then quickly said she didn't want to keep it a secret anymore.

"I followed the sound and saw that it was not a person talking! It was a bird."

The little fish was puzzled, bird?

A talking bird! A parrot?

"I once saw a talking bird with Your Highness at a night banquet in the palace. I think it was called a parrot."

"The parrot that Master Taifu has is so beautiful. Not only can it talk, it seems to have its own thoughts."

"This parrot's name is Ice Cream. He doesn't like it when I call him by his name."

Cuizhi said with a smile.

Xiaoyu: What is that? Ice cream?

She also has popsicles.

"Xue Gao even asked me what my name was, and he even called the Master Taifu a fool."

After Cuizhi finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoyu could already imagine the scene, and started laughing along with Cuizhi.

But what Xuegao said still makes sense, Dongxu is indeed a fool.

"It's really interesting. I must go and see it in person someday." Xiaoyu said with a smile, interest shining in his eyes again.

In the original book, the existence of this bird was not mentioned.

Just like Xia Jie’s cat was not mentioned in the original novel.

I don’t know how Heizi is doing, and whether he has adapted to the grassland.

The dull Dong Xu actually raised a funny parrot with a sharp tongue. The contrast made Xiaoyu laugh.

This was as shocking as the first time she knew Xia Jie loved to pet cats.

These characters are not exactly the same as the originals; their personalities and behaviors are somewhat different from the originals.

In the text, Dong Xu, who is handsome, cold and unapproachable, may just be stupid.

Just like the arrogance and willfulness of King Jie of Xia in the text, he is not as he seems.

Xia Jie may be invincible on the battlefield, but he is emotionally timid and cautious, even restrained and fearful.

He is very soft-hearted, not as strong and carefree as he appears to be.

Dong Xu appears to be aloof on the outside, but emotionally dull.

What about his inner self? What is it like?

The little fish became more and more curious, and always felt that many small contrasts were particularly interesting.

At this time, Chun Ke happened to come in and report his investigation to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu asked Chunke and others to investigate Xuzhu's affairs, but she didn't expect that they would find out so quickly.

"Tell me in detail, please sit down." Xiaoyu smiled and asked Chunke to sit down and not to be so reserved.

Chun Ke bowed respectfully and then sat down obediently.

"Your Highness, we have found out that Master Xuzhu suddenly disappeared from Lanfeng Tower for a while two days ago."

"They said they disappeared, but they were taken away by a few people. However, their whereabouts were very secretive. Since we didn't track them down at the time, we could only look for clues to make a judgment."

"All we know is that Master Xuzhu was taken away by someone, but we can't find out who it was."

"These guys are very professional and have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance."

"But what is certain is that after Master Xuzhu was taken away, he had the money to redeem himself."

"Among the Blue Wind Tower thugs who were chasing Master Xu Zhu, two of them also confessed after being bribed by my subordinates."

"The beating of Master Xuzhu that day was a paid show. It was Xuzhu who ordered them to do it for you."

"At present, we can only confirm that Master Xuzhu is indeed plotting something bad, but the person behind him is still unknown."

Chun Ke said with a bad look on his face, he wished he could throw the liar Xu Zhu out right now.

Who dares to deceive His Highness?

Xiaoyu patted Chunke's head to comfort him, and she smiled with a deep look in her eyes.

As expected, some people can no longer sit still.

There was a look of control in her eyes; she was just playing with the teacup and smiling calmly.

"Your Highness, are you going to kick Xuzhu out of the house?" Cuizhi asked angrily.

She felt sorry for Master Xuzhu at that time, but it turned out that he was deceiving His Highness.

Du Weizi wanted to tear this pitiful man to pieces.

Xiaoyu just smiled and looked into the distance meaningfully.

"No need, just keep quiet and pretend you don't know about this."

"I want to see what these people are up to."
